SecOps Vulnerability Response Health dashboard

The Vulnerability Response Health dashboard is a tool designed to empower organizations with comprehensive insights into the implementation and usage of their Vulnerability Response applications.

The overall health assessment is determined by aggregating various critical factors across configuration, implementation, integration, performance, data, and process. View the aggregate dashboard for each category for the following applications:

• Vulnerability Response
• Application Vulnerability Response
• Container Vulnerability Response
• ​Configuration Compliance​

Installing the SecOps Vulnerability Response Health Dashboard

To install and configure the SecOps Vulnerability Response Health Dashboard for Vulnerability Response applications in your ServiceNow AI Platform instance, navigate to the ServiceNow® Store and activate the SecOps Health Analytics (sn_sec_analytics) plugin.

Required ServiceNow AI Platform roles

Roles required: sn_sec_analytics.admin, sn_sec_analytics.read

Scheduled job

To view the scheduled job, navigate to All > System Scheduler > Scheduled Jobs > Collect health dashboard metrics. The 'Collect health dashboard metrics' scheduled job is run daily at 00:00 hours. It generates the data for the SecOps Vulnerability Response Health dashboard. You can choose to run the scheduled job manually as well.

Use cases

For examples of how people in your organization would use this dashboard, see these use cases.

User	Dashboard use
Vulnerability admin	Helps you gain an understanding of the health score of the Vulnerability Response applications. It’s also helpful to highlight the areas that need improvement. The Vulnerability Response Health Dashboard deals with the implementation and usage health only. It doesn’t assist with management of vulnerabilities or assets.
Support admin	Helps you to identify the performance, customization, and configuration issues using KPIs. Based on the application health, you can perform an extra analysis or provide a recommendation to the users.
Implementation partner	Helps you to evaluate the Vulnerability Response implementation health for configurations, add-ons, customizations, and integrations, and provide improvement recommendations for the users.

The SecOps Vulnerability Response Health Dashboard tabs

To view the SecOps Vulnerability Response Health dashboard, navigate to Security Operation Health > Vulnerability Response Health. Each color in the dashboard represents the following:

• Green: Safe
• Yellow: Warning
• Red: Critical
